It’s the day before the United States picks its next commander-in-chief, and during a stop in New Hampshire, Trump decided to flaunt his friendship with Brady and Belichick in an attempt to win over some New England voters. Most notably, he read a letter that he claims is from Belichick in which the Patriots’ head coach complimented Trump for how he’s dealt with the “unbelievable slanted and negative media” but managed to come out “beautifully.”

Trump also claimed that he received a phone call from Brady on Monday in which the Patriots quarterback expressed his support. Additionally, Trump said Brady gave him permission to tell a crowd about this endorsement.

This smells a bit funky, because even though Brady and Belichick are close with Trump, the two are notoriously private and the thought of them being so vocal in their support isn’t par for the course for either dude. Of course, nothing about this election is “par for the course,” so maybe this is all 100 percent legitimate.

There’s also the non-zero chance that Brady and/or Belichick never said this and Trump was just trying to get a cheap pop in Pats country. If that’s the case, we’ll almost certainly hear about it from these two.

It’s unbelievable how much Belichick sounds like Trump when he writes. It must be because they both have tremendous intellect and know how to win! Belichick sounds a lot like a couple of Trump’s former spokespeople, John Barron and John Miller, too! Incredible! We all know that a guy who has repeatedly told bold faces lies wouldn’t make up a letter like this and reveal it late at night, hours before the polls open so it can’t be refuted. Trump would never do that.

Seriously though, this is transparent and ridiculous. You would think Trump could get someone else to write his fake letter for him so it wouldn’t sound like one of his fucking tweets. Or as Trump himself would say, SAD!

Is this just like how the “NFL wrote him a letter” complaining about the debates being up against NFL games? Except they never did? Trump doesn’t exactly have a stellar track record when it comes to telling the truth about receiving letters from people in the NFL.
